The US spot crypto ETF market has achieved a new breakthrough. Grayscale Ethereum Staking ETF (ticker ETHE) has announced a significant move—distributing staking rewards to holders for the first time, at $0.083 per share.

What does this mean? No one in the US market has done this before. Previously, investors in Ethereum staking rewards were mostly passive holders, waiting for price fluctuations. Now, Grayscale is directly distributing staking rewards as dividends to shareholders, allowing investors to continuously earn passive income without managing or validating nodes themselves.

This dividend has been in place since January 5th. For institutions and retail investors optimistic about Ethereum's long-term prospects and seeking stable income, this is a great option. Competition among spot crypto ETF products is indeed heating up.

ngl grayscale finally figured out what institutional adoption actually looks like... staking yields passed directly to shareholders? that's the network effect playing out in real time, not some derivative casino nonsense. most retail still doesn't grasp how this shifts the adoption curve tbh

Grayscale's move this time is quite clever, directly distributing staking rewards as dividends to save us the hassle of doing it ourselves.

Grayscale's move this time is quite impressive. It finally allows retail investors to earn staking rewards passively without having to go through the complicated process of validating nodes themselves.

This is true Web3 financialization, allowing small investors to also enjoy the benefits of staking.

Wow, Grayscale really figured it out this time. They directly distribute dividends to shareholders, no need to set up nodes themselves, and can earn passive income. I’ve been saying, when will Crypto truly become part of the average person's retirement plan?
